I went to electronics school years after I graduated from college. Every
month, the secretary would come into the class and hand me a bill for
$64. I guess I was one of the few there that paid the tuition monthly.
The other students were mostly out of high school and it was obvious
that they weren't footing the bill. You really can't appreciate an
education unless you're paying for it yourself.
